Handbuilding is a ceramics technique that involves creating forms without a pottery wheel, using the hands, fingers, and simple tools. The most common methods are pinch pottery, coil building, and slab building. Handbuilding is great for developing confidence with clay before approaching the wheel.

Wheel throwing is the process of forming clay into shapes on a pottery wheel. As the wheel spins, small indentations or surface changes are quickly applied to the clay, where the shape and features begin to take form. It is a common technique for making ceramic mugs, bowls, and plates.

Risograph or Riso is similar to screen printing, but with the convenience of a photocopier. Using rich spot colors and stencils to create tactile and vibrant prints, it's an affordable and easy method for artists and designers to produce their own work.
